Renewables in agriculture: Are renewable energy projects worth it for WA growers?
Description
What happens when wind turbines meet wheat fields?
Across Western Australia, more and more farmers are being approached by energy companies with big ideas - and big infrastructure. But what does it all mean for your farm?
Farmanco’s limited podcast series, "Diversifying Farm Income: Integrating Renewable Energy into Agriculture", unpacks the opportunities and challenges of the renewables rollout.
The three-part series shares insights from a grower survey funded through the South-West WA Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub, and examines what’s driving renewable energy interest in Western Australia’s ag sector - from financial benefits and long-term business resilience to the social, legal, and environmental realities on the ground.
Whether you’re curious, cautious, or already in talks, this series is your independent guide to navigating the future of on-farm energy.
The second episode of the series explores whether renewable energy projects are worth it for Western Australian growers, featuring Farmanco's Greg Easton (Farm Management Consultant) and icubed Consulting Senior Associate, Fraser MacMillan, hosted by Shannon Beattie.
